Evorel Sequi is a box that contains 2 different HRT patches. The box contains Evorel 50 and Evorel Conti patches. The patches should be started in the first 5 days of your period, or at any time if you have irregular periods. Evorel 50 patches are worn for the first 2 weeks, followed by Evorel Conti patches for the second 2 weeks before switching back to Evorel 50 without a break. A bleed should start in the week following the Evorel Conti patches. Patches should be worn below the waist and away from breast tissue. Patches can be worn in the shower or bath or for swimming.

Method

Cyclical HRT is where you take breaks from the progesterone part of HRT, usually each month. You will usually have a withdrawal bleed around the time the progesterone has stopped. Some methods of HRT have this break built in already.
Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus you should use HRT which also contains progesterone, or alongside progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

A positive experience. Notably this has helped with relief from low mood and brain fog, as well as very dry skin, eyes and hair and hot flushes. I'm currently having some issues with bloating but I don't yet know if this is a side effect of HRT or something else.

Fantastic.An absolute lifesaver. It really saddens me to see people’s negative experiences. I’d suffered for around 4 years before starting HRT, I’d got around 8 symptoms which were getting progressively worse. I’d gotten to the point I had zero interest in anything and that was my turning point. I’d also experienced a couple of bouts of being so so angry it was scary. The potential small health risks were outweighed by a potential increase to my quality of life and that’s exactly what it did. Within days I felt 100% better and back to my old self.All of my symptoms dissipated. After a year and a half or so, every now and then some of my symptoms reappeared so I went to my GP and had some oestrogen gel. I use this maybe every few months for a couple of days and totally accept that I will have breakthrough symptoms every now and then-it’s only natural. It’s impossible to tell if any of the negative symptoms (which aren’t many-mainly thinner hair at the root) would’ve happened anyway. Overall I’m delighted with my HRT and would wholeheartedly recommend it. I’ve also stopped taking antidepressants for the last 2 years. I’ve been on them most of my adult life.

I keep taking it as I think it must be helping. However, I still have night sweats and issues sleeping. However, I know that it must be helping by topping up my estrogen

My experience with Evorel Sequi over 8 months was that it made a very slight improvement to my brain fog and feeling slightly more like myself. The patch irritated my skin and hurt quite a lot. I continued to feel wiped out most of the time and anxious and low. I'm now trying a different HRT.

Feeling good on Evorel Sequi. Reacting less badly to the progesterone patches than I did to Utrogestan, experience during those two weeks much improved. Patches don’t stick very well but easier and quicker to apply than the gel and the hack I found online with the 3M film dressing applied over the top works very well. Skin is a bit worse during progesterone patch phase but I can live with this.

I am really happy with the overall improvement of most symptoms, but I am also taking a progesterone-only pill because I started having periods every two weeks or so.

My HRT patches worked really well for the first year and I felt really good onbthem.Not so well now, feel that I have more of the old symptoms back especially anxiety and just not myself but feel that patches are helping still.
